Nothing beats homemade lasagna, but it can be time-consuming and a bit messy to assemble.
With this lasagna soup in the Instant Pot, you get all of your favorite lasagna flavors in one amazing meal in under 25 minutes.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH Lasagna soup
This recipe makes enough to be a main dish, but I like to pair it with a cabbage chopped salad, roasted frozen cauliflower, air fryer asparagus, or roasted frozen broccoli.
And when I’m craving more carbs (which is always), a side of cheesy garlic bread makes my heart happy.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- You can use almost any kind of pasta that you have on hand. If you have a box of lasagna noodles, break them into pieces instead of using the bow ties.
- Sub in ground beef or turkey for the Italian sausage.
- Step 4 in the recipe card notes “do not overmix” – follow this warning! Some Instant Pot models can be sensitive when tomato-based products are in a recipe and the tomatoes touching the bottom of the insert can result in a “burn notice”. Just one quick stir of the ingredients is recommended.
- Grow your own oregano? Check out my tutorial on Drying Oregano to use your own herbs in this recipe.

Yahoo! You’re on a roll over there, lady. 🙂
I made this for dinner tonight. I subbed a can of beans for the sausage. It was delicious. Everyone loved it. I was terrified to cook pasta in the instapot but it was perfect! Thank you
Great call on the bean sub! So glad you enjoyed the soup; thanks for taking the time to leave a review. 🙂
A soup that the kids actually eat!! I made this tonight with my 9 and 6 year old who usually avoid any dinners that contain the word “soup” in them. Tonight they finished their bowls and said it was a “favorite” dinner. Will definitely make this again especially because of how easy it is to make in the instant pot!
Awww, so glad to hear how much they enjoyed it!!
Made this tonight & it was crazy good! Definitely going in my cold weather recipe arsenal. Thank you Sarah for your epic recipes.
